Pros

Great teammates, mostly very friendly and very smart; they helped me learn a lot. Mostly good managers.

Cons

While my direct managers were mostly pretty good, priorities were often chaotic, especially when getting requests from other teams.

Some managers have unrealistic demands and expect you to work 24/7.

A lot of internal tools (e.g. for testing) are outdated and painful to use. Fixing your team's tools and simplifying your code base is rarely prioritized.
